That sound you hear is all the jaws dropping to the floor! The May
jobs report came out much better than expected. Unemployment hit
13.3% while payrolls went up by 2.5 million. April’s unemployment
rate was 14.7%. Yes, 13.3% is still high, but economists predicted
it to land around 20%. They also thought payrolls…

In addition to the prof who resigned, there’s a professor at
another school who is facing pressure to resign for mocking

The Black Lives Matter movement was born of the Michael Brown
shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. While the BLM founders started
their organizing after the prior Trayvon Martin case, it was Brown
and Ferguson which launched the BLM movement into the public
spotlight through the protests and riots in Ferguson. Nothing was
more…

I’ve written well over 1,500 posts for Legal Insurrection over the
years, and one that stands out in my memory as a heartbreaking
emblem of “woke” culture was a post about a school in New York City
that was teaching little K-8 white children they were “born
racist.” Children were coming…

Along with the protests in cities across America in the aftermath
of the death of George Floyd has come rioting, looting, acts of
arson, and violent assaults on random citizens and law enforcement
alike. The apocalyptic scenes look like something straight out of
“The Purge,” so much so that there are growing…

Throughout the protests and riots, it has been amazing to watch
apologists on CNN defend what is happening. Chris Cuomo is now
wondering aloud why protests should be peaceful. Has he looked out
a window lately? Think back to the Tea Party protests of 2010. No
one was killed, and nothing was destroyed….

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas dropped a video an undercover
journalist made when they infiltrated Rose City Antifa (RCA) in
Oregon. (I’d say it’s funny, but considering what these people do,
I won’t. But someone should inform them if they are truly
anti-fascist, they wouldn’t carry a USSR or China flag with them.)
Just…

This person has a history of defending Antifa. He has written books
about them. Campus Reform reports: Rutgers historian runs to
rioters’ defense: ‘Antifa isn’t the problem’ Mark Bray, a historian
of human rights, terrorism, and political radicalism in modern
Europe at Rutgers University in New Jersey, claims President Donald
Trump’s labeling of Antifa…

Professor whose grim warnings prompted global lockdowns now admits Sweden suppressed Covid-19 to the same level but without shutdowns. Infectious disease specialists promote petition calling for an end to tear gas during COVID-19 pandemic.

Today’s daily update will feature a great deal of back-tracking and
narrative changing from our pandemic “experts.” To start with, some
readers will recall that in late May, the World Health Organization
(WHO) temporarily suspended the hydroxychloroquine arm of its
trial. I chose to ignore this drama and continued to focus on…

The National Guard is not on Drexel University’s campus for
anything to do with the school. They’re using part of a building as
a base of operations. Yet the students are protesting this. Inside

About 1.9 million people filed for unemployment benefits last week,
which is another sign the economy is picking up as businesses
reopen. We have to remember the number does not include “people who
filed for unemployment under a new program created by the CARES Act
that extends benefits to gig and self-employed…

In doing this, isn’t Winthrop University essentially siding with
the Chinese Communist Party? Wouldn’t they do the same thing? The

I haven’t had much time to reflect on the looting and riots that
swept mostly (but not exclusively) large Democrat cities. It was a
wilding on a scale we’ve never seen. It was a bloodletting and
release of criminal fury. We should be clear what is happening. It
is not protest over…

Back in 2018, Katy Grimes wrote about leftist billionaire George
Soros funneling millions into U.S. District Attorney races across
the country. Apparently, the investment is paying off now.
Soros-backed Saint Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner
reportedly declined to prosecute those arrested for looting and
rioting. More than 30 people were released from…
